kboy101222@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Wave-Powered Desalination System Produces 13,000 Gallons of Drinking Water a Day From Each Buoy14·2 years agoSo about 25,000 peoples minimum drinking water per day per bouy. Not too bad there.
Or the overall average water usage of ~13.2 people (went with the first number cause I ain’t researching things rn)

kboy101222@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Let the community work it out: A throwback to early internet days could fix social media’s crisis of legitimacy10·2 years agoThis is a Beehaw post, not Hexbear. Heaxbear is filled with sorry ass tankies
kboy101222@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Let the community work it out: A throwback to early internet days could fix social media’s crisis of legitimacy15·2 years agoAgreed. I don’t have 90s Internet memories like a lot of here, but I do have some early 2000a Internet memories, which I honestly think was better than the 90s Internet cause we’d worked out a lot of the kinks.
Forums were a great place to chat with people about whatever and in 99% of cases, people were polite enough. People talked about this and that. I and others shared their discoveries in video games on sites like GameFAQs (rest in peace, I put up so many Mario Kart DD tips).
People treated interactive sites like they were neighborhoods. Sure, a ton of drama would pop up, same as any neighborhood, and sometimes that drama made modernTwitter drama seem tame, but it stayed within the community the majority of the time and it either got resolved or ended up killing the site. Either way people got over it and moved on.
Nowadays, just keeping up with memes and drama is a full time job. Just 5 years ago I could stay on top of things, now it feels like what’s funny changes the second I see it, and I’m not even old (I was just on the Internet at way too young). Hell, rage comics and impact memes were a think for over a decade.
Lemmy has so far felt like a nice middle ground between the old days of things lasting more than five minutes and people not just immediately being dicks (as long as you block everything LG and Hexbear) plus modern comforts in technology.
kboy101222@lemm.eeto Privacy@lemmy.ml•We caught technicians at Best Buy, Mobile Klinik, Canada Computers and others snooping on our personal devices54·2 years agoAbsolutely not surprised. I’ve had multiple friends that worked Geek Squad. All of them have admitted to snooping at least once and most have said their coworkers did it constantly.
Don’t take your computer to Geek Squad, folks. They’re all untrained highschoolers following a script anyways
Oh THATS why it’s called Gentoo!
I knew it was a penguin and I knew about the distro, but I never put the two together
kboy101222@lemm.eeto Gaming@beehaw.org•Disney's CEO Is Reportedly Being Urged to Consider Turning Company Into a 'Gaming Giant' [and buying EA]2·2 years agoMan, I miss Disney Infinity. The toy requirement was stupid, but the building was a ton of fun
I can’t figure out who does more scare tactic advertising - conservative politicians or VPN companies. I swear all of them want you to believe that Russia and China are watching you personally
The visualization is also horrible. Why the hell aren’t the dots aligned with the words?
As the other guy said - any controller works on PC (I’d recommend wired though cause the vast majority of Bluetooth drivers suck on PC)
I don’t think you have to pay for plus for warframe. I used to play in PlayStation and I haven’t had plus since I got 3 free months with my PlayStation
kboy101222@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is an item below 100 bucks that everyone should own?1·2 years agoIs Casper the low end or is it Irish?
It could go either way
Cause FOSS people are worse than vegans. It’s like Linux users but infinitely worse.
FOSS ≠ better or good. Most of the FOSS Lemmy apps are usability nightmares right now. The only reason I was using jerboa for so long is because sync wasn’t out yet
kboy101222@lemm.eeto Technology@beehaw.org•Greg Rutkowski Was Removed From Stable Diffusion, But AI Artists Brought Him Back - Decrypt10·2 years agoWelcome to the wonderful world of the silicon valley tech era! Everything must be profitable at all costs! Everything must steal every tiny fact about you! Everything must include ! Everything must go through enshittification!
I think a better analogy would be making HTML look like one of those template thingies people use for bullet journals
Also Chrome books, Android users that don’t care enough to change browsers, and most people who aren’t wholly in Apple’s ecosystem. Lemmy users are more knowledgeable about tech than probably 90% of the population. The demographics here definitely aren’t representative of the real world

kboy101222@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How many Lemmy users are non-technical background?3·2 years agoWhat kind of insects do you survey?
And also, what kind of surveys are we talking, cause that word has too many meanings!
I think it’s medical and insulting use are obsolete lmao
